You Capture: Feel

I wasn't quite sure what to do for this week's you capture, until I accidentally took this photo. I was trying to take a photo of my baby bump, and instead, I ended up getting myself all blurry and covered up with the flash. It was crooked and blurry and looked more like I was trying to take a picture of this art print.

But I like it, because what do I want to feel when I look into my eyes every morning? I want to feel hope, like the print says. I want to see hope and live hope and give hope. Somehow, by sheer accident, I captured what I so desperately want to feel, even, especially on the mornings when life seems a little crooked, a little blurry, and I just can't seem to get it right.

    That's wonderful. Good job. Isn't it funny how sometimes what might at first seem like a mistake becomes something wonderful? I love it.

    This is a great picture...because of how it makes you feel. I hope for you many continued days of hope especially with the new little one entering your lives.

    Wow...at first I thought it was a glass ornament with your picture inside. Very neat how it turned out.
